Hellbeast from Heresy

This
demonic doggie is “Hellbeast (looking left)” from Heresy Miniatures. Great mini, but
a lot of work with green stuff because it comes in seven pieces; torso, 4 legs,
head and jaw. If you’re not discouraged by that then it really looks cool.

I
was rather discouraged, as green-stuffing isn’t my strongest skill, but the
other month I mined the tin-mountain for a lot of figs that I had put together
but not green-stuffed. They tend to collect in the mountain… I spent a couple of evenings kneading
green-stuff and silently cursing... You have seen some of them painted already,
and more will come in the next couple of weeks. Practice makes better, I guess,
and I curse less now…

Nice doggie!

Skin:
Vallejo 859 Black Red with a black wash

Claws,
teeth and spines: Vallejo Game Colour Bone White with a wash of Citadel Devlan

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
